Debt collection: Other debt

Debt is not yours
Complaint: I'm still being mistakenly pursued for 3 years now for some XXXX equipment that I returned. Looks like someone is making a fast buck reselling this erroneous debt again and again. Strange since I have a receipt showing I returned the equipment dated XX/XX/15 and the last debt collection agency chasing me ( XXXX XXXX ) found that the alleged debt is uncollectible. This month it's ERC of XXXX, PA that is hounding me. When will it stop?

Debt was result of identity theft
Complaint: This started back in XX/XX/XXXXor XX/XX/XXXX and ERC opened an account that showed up on my credit reports for {$1800.00}. I have repeatedly tried to explain that this is not my account and that XXXX XXXX stole my identity just like he did with a car loan, XXXX XXXX account, and XXXX XXXX. They keep refiling this so it will stay on my credit report even though I have told them time and time again that it is not mine. I live in XXXX XXXX and my only name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. He applied for credit with a name XXXX XXXX. That is not now nor ever been my name.

Debt is not yours
Complaint: I have reached out to the collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX, requesting a letter of validation of debt over three times and they have not complied. This debt was supposedly reported by XXXX XXXX which Ive never owned an account with them. Ive reached out to this Agency three times requestion a letter of validation for this debt, which they have failed to provide to date. I disputed this account on all three credit bureaus and it was deleted on XXXX and XXXX due to lack of information on this debt. The collection agency has reported this debt to be accurate now on the last credit bureau ( XXXX ) without providing the information supporting the validation of the debt. I have exhausted all my resources trying to fix this issue with the company. I recently filed another dispute with XXXX and called XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting a letter of validation. The company reported this account as accurate and hasnt provided the letter of validation.

Debt collection: I do not know

You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Complaint: I've received multiple calls from XXXX XXXX on my cell phone. Each time they ask for a person named " XXXX '' who doesn't have the phone number. The calls include local call spoofing attempts ( very frequent ), XXXX, and even XXXX. I've repeatedly asked them to put my phone number on their " Do not call '' list but they just hang up on me then call me over and over again. I filed a complaint against them about two years ago for the same activity to which they sent a letter promising to never do call my number again. They are doing it again. They are also using a robo-calling device to call my cell phone. This is also illegal. I've found that they are a debt collection company known for using sleazy tactics in order to collect debts that are not owed. I do not owe any one and am not in debt. No one named " XXXX '' is associated with me or my phone number.

Complaint: I received this letter from ERC ( attached ) which I have no idea about any XXXX account. The information represents that my personal information has been mistaken with someone else 's or that my credit file and personal identity has been totally compromised. This is a serious matter that needs immediate attention before it is put on my credit report. That would be a fraudulent act by ERC and XXXX as this debt is not mine and could be a result of ID Theft.

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: In XXXX I was using XXXX XXXX XXXX as my internet provider. I repetaly lost service for days and weeks at a time. After many phone calls I was sent to a XXXX XXXX XXXX retention person that offered me a reduced rate for the duration of my service with them. In XXXX my bill significantly increased by over 30 %. I called yet again but was told that the rate the gave me was expired. I asked them to stand by the verbal ( recorded ) offer or cancel my service, they canceled. I later received a bill for over {$250.00} for canceling, late charges and the bill at inflated rate. This debt was sold to a collection agency that constantly contacted me to the point of abuse. I offered {$100.00} to settle and have them remove from my credit but the yelled at me and declined. The debt has know been sold to the third credit company and has negatively effected my credit yet again. I would like this removed without the chance of been submitted to another collection company.

Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Complaint: OnXX/XX/2018XXXX I mailed a letter to ERC requesting debt validation. I was sent a copy of a bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$1000.00} and no validation about a XXXX bill in the amount of {$650.00}. I requested proof that I was the party to pay this debt, and requested proof that there is some contractual obligation binding me to pay, or something that bears my signature. I stated in the letter dated for XX/XX/2018, that this was not a request for verification but a request for validation. I requested the following items : -agreement with the client that grants you the authority to collect on this alleged debt -agreement that bears the signature of the alleged debtor where he/she agreed to pay the creditor -date alleged debt became payable -date of original charge-off or delinquency verification that debt was assigned or sold to the collector ERC has failed to provide me with this information. Under the FDCPA, I have the right to debt validation. It is the debt collector responsibility to prove the account is really my responsibility and that the balance is accurate. In addition, the collection agency must also prove they have the legal right to collect this debt.
